 Insulating the bottom of the print bed ? Looking for a bit of inspiration...
I am having trouble, even with a 120W power supply, of getting the print bed past around 90 deg C. Has anyone put insulation under the print bed to reduce heat loss and therefore allow it to reach a higher temperature ? If so, what did you use ?

Re: Insulating the bottom of the print bed ? Thanks for the quick reply Daniel. A bit of searching, and it seems that Spaceloft is called SpaceTherm on this side of the pond. It is rather expensive though  http://www.passivhausstore.co.uk/spacetherm-blanket.html

Re: Insulating the bottom of the print bed ? Yes it's expensive but very cool  If you want something, i've got a 10mm thick roll - where are you from? Daniel

Re: Insulating the bottom of the print bed ? I'm in Holland. If you have some spare and aren't too far away I'd be happy to give you some cash and pay for postage.

Re: Insulating the bottom of the print bed ? Hello Daniel,
Do you happen to have some more? I would like to insulate my print bed as well.
I am willing to pay for the insulation and of course for the shipping to the netherlands.
tnx!
